Washings d. purifications of the external, or natural man; illustrated, 3147.

What the spiritual and the natural man are, or what is the same, the internal and the external: the spiritual man is wise from the light of heaven, and the natural from the light of the world, 3167.

By the fall they were separated, and the natural man exalts himself above the spiritual; wherefore there must be regeneration, 3167.

The Divine Natural of the Lord came forth from the Divine Rational Good by means of the Divine Truth therein, 3283.

The natural is regenerated by means of the rational, and so far as the natural does not fight against the rational it is regenerated, 3286.

The natural is regenerated from rational good as a father, and from rational truth as a mother, 3286, 3288.

The natural consists of good and truth, and its good is called delightful, but its truth is called scientific, 3293.

The natural as to good is interior and exterior; concerning which, 3293; also as to truth it is interior and exterior, 3294.

The truths of the natural are sensual, scientific, and doctrinal; and these follow, 3309, 3310:4.

The doctrinal truths are based upon the scientific truths, and these upon the sensual; otherwise the idea of doctrinals cannot be held, 3310 e.

The good of the rational flows into the good of the natural immediately, and into the truth of the natural mediately; and this is signified by Isaac loved Esau, and Rebekah loved Jacob, 3314, 3573, 3616, 3969:2.

Those things which are in the natural are relatively obscure, 6686.

[%2+] The rational receives truths sooner than the natural, because the natural is to be regenerated by means of influx from the rational, 3321.

Several reasons why the natural is regenerated later, and with more difficulty, than the rational, 3321:3.

Concerning natural good, which is of a fourfold kind, and is extirpated when a man is regenerated, 3469, 3470, 3471. See # 170 Good.

The rational is regenerated sooner than the natural; why, 3493.

The rational appears to itself to see nothing, unless the natural corresponds, 3493:2, 3620, 3623.

The rational is distinct from the natural, so much so that the rational can exist apart from the natural life, but not the natural without the rational life, 3498.

To man, while he lives in the body, it appears as if the rational lived in the natural; and the rational does not appear distinct from the natural, 3498:2.

In the natural there are general things, in the rational their particulars; and the natural is formed from the particulars of the rational, 3513.

The distinction between natural good and the good of the natural; the former is from parents, the latter from the Lord, 3518.

The natural is as a body, the end in the rational is as a soul, and the things which are in the natural are relatively as the body of their soul, 3570:3.

From the inmost good of the rational the goods and truths in the natural come forth, 3576. Concerning this See # 1622 Truth, and # 1286 Regeneration.

In the natural of the memory, as in their own ground, are implanted the cognitions of truth and good by means of life, 3762:2.

In the natural there must be a marriage of good and truth; and what it is, 3793; and the natural is interior and exterior, 3793:2.

The natural is opposed to the spiritual; illustrated, 3913:3, 3928.

Temptation is combat between the natural and the spiritual man, 3927, 3928.

The natural communicates on the one part through sensual things with the world, and on the other part through rational things with heaven; and there are communicating intermediates, 4009.

A stench of teeth, and the odor of burnt bone are smelt from those who are altogether natural, 4630.

The natural are unseen; who they are, 4630.

The natural is beneath the rational; and if they harmonize, the natural is nothing but the formation of those things which are in the rational as being common, 4667:2.

Concerning those who ascribe all things to nature, and nothing to the Divine, 4941.

The largest part of Christians are sent into the lower earth, because they are natural, 4944.

They who ascribe all things to nature, and speak of a Supreme Being, cannot have an idea of a living Deity, 4950.

Nature is a theatre representative of the Lord's kingdom, because spiritual and celestial things terminate there, 4939.

Celestial things are the head, spiritual things the body, and natural things the feet; and thus they succeed and flow in, 4938, 4939.

Natural good and truth are of a twofold origin-from hereditary nature and from doctrine; the former is good and truth, natural not spiritual; but the latter is good and truth natural-spiritual; illustrated, 4988:2, 4992.

The natural is interior and exterior; and the interior communicates with the rational, and the exterior with the world, 5118, 5126.

With man there is a rational and a natural; the former is internal, the latter external, 5150:2.

The natural, especially the interior, is a plane and as it were a surface in which the interiors see themselves; and otherwise a man could not think, 5165:2.

Unless this natural is subordinate, and thus in correspondence, the interior man cannot think, thus cannot believe anything, nor have faith, 5168:2.

There is an endeavor in natural things from the spiritual world, without which nothing would exist that does exist, 5173:2.

By the natural simply spoken of is to be understood the natural mind, 5301.

The natural is constituted of the spiritual with the regenerated, as effect is of cause 5326.

Concerning the obedience of the natural; it then exists when it looks to heaven, not to the world, 5368.

Concerning the Dutch; some of them are purely natural, 5573.

The natural is interior and exterior; and man does not know this, but angelic societies know it well, 5649:3.

The natural is a plane in which influx terminates, therefore the old must be subjugated, and the new is given, when the man is regenerated, which is the spiritual-natural, 5651:2.

In the interior there are thousands and thousands of things which appear as one in the exterior, 5707:2.

The natural is in the light of the world; the spiritual, in the light of heaven; the former is the external of the Church, the latter is the internal, 5965.

That the natural of man may live there must be an immediate influx from the Lord, and a mediate influx by means of the spiritual world, 6063:2.

They who do good from natural good, and not from religious doctrine, cannot be saved; concerning whom, 6208; they have no conscience into which angels flow, 6208.

The internal lives in the natural man, but it clothes itself with those things by means of which it can accomplish the effect in a lower sphere, 6275, 6284; illustrated, 6299:2.

The natural must necessarily be regenerated that influx may be through the internal, otherwise the internal is closed, 6299:3.

Man is not regenerated until the natural is, 9043, 9046 e, 9061.

The natural man separated from the internal cannot endure a spiritual sphere, 9109.

The natural is interior, exterior, or middle, and outermost; and interior things cease and are at rest in exterior; they also have a connection with exterior things, 9216.

[%4+] All things in nature represent and correspond; references, 9280. See # 1300 Representation, and # 334 Correspondence.

There must be a correspondence of the natural man with the spiritual, or internal, that man may be regenerated; and a man is not regenerated until the natural is regenerated; references, 9325 e.

Whence it is that the internal man is called spiritual, and the external, natural, 9383.

Spiritual good and truth, which are just and equitable, also honest and seemly, succeed each other in order; and upon them conscience is founded, 2915.

The Relation of Good to Regeneration. The first state of those who are being regenerated is that good and truth are from themselves, in which opinion also they are left for reasons here given; but when they are regenerated they believe that these are from the Lord angels perceive it, 2946, 2960, 2974.
